Excerpt from Du Page County: A Descriptive and Historical Guide
It is for this reason that the Du Page County Guide is of great value. Here we have a fine example of what should be done in other counties, not only in Illinois but throughout the country. It is a guidebook that brings home to residents of Du Page County, and to outsiders as well, all of the interesting and unique things to be found in that county, and how these things originated. In it, too, future generations may learn what one American county was like from the mid-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century.
